Some Plain Talk.

1t is notorious fact that the pro-
hibition law of Christian county,
which went into effect April LIST, is
openly and flagrantly violated every
day that comes. The SoUTH KEN
TUoKIAN did not advocate the passage
of the law, but majority of the
voters Of the county cast their votes
for its adoption and il is now law
of the land and we want to see it en-
forced by the proper authorities.
If the present system of walking
bar-rooms' is to obtain, better by
far it would be to have the law re-
pealed and let the city derive reve-
nue. from liquor licenses. There are
scores of places in the city where or
ders can be placed for whisky,
which will be promptly delivered in
bottles. There are negroes in the
city who nave taken out government
license and have gone into the busi-
ness of peddling whisky as regular
vocation. There are hundred rep
utable citizens in Hopkinsville who if
put upon the witness stand could and
would give names and dates about
these matters. Revenue licenses
must be displayed before they can be
operated under and it would be an
easy matter to find where they are
tackled up and it would be still easier
to put witness on the stand and as
certain who have taken out license TO
violate the local laws. 1t is nonsense
to say that the law cannot be enforced.
Whisky is still being received at the
depot here and somebody is receiving
it. 1t is still being sold and some
body is selling it. 1t is still being
drunk aud somebody is drinking il.
There are plenty of men who drink
whisky who will not lie if asked UNI
der oath where they got it. All that
is needed is for somebody to enforce
the law and it is 10 call attention to
the state of affairs and demand that
the prohibition law be enforced or
that this article is written.
Any police officer who is not in sym
patty with the law and know
ingly suffers it 10 be daily violated,
should be removed for dereliction OF
duty. The penalty is heavy one
and IL viii take but a few convictions
to put stop to whisky selling. Few
men care to pay fine of $500 aud go
to jail for three months for the privi-
Iege of selling bottle of whisky. !
We call for the enforcement of the
aw.

Hon. Polk Lafloon has announced
his intention of retiring from politics
after his present term in Congress ex-
pires and there is beginning TO be a
good deal of talk about the next Con-
gressional race. Col. Ellis, OF Dsv-
less, and Col. Powell, of Henderson,
are avowed candidates. In speaking
of the latter gentleman, the Dixon
Record says he will carry Webster
almost solidly. lie would of course
carry Henderson and Union and
would have morcthan an even chance
In Hopkins and in this county. I'M
less the race should become mixed
up and turn out TO be free for all,
1t begins to look like Powell is the
coming Congressman.

view pretinotl II also, appears that
these gentlemen were appraised of tie
fact that the clerk and Judge present
had not been sworn, but wishing 10
20 TO another precinct they voted
with the understanding that when
the absent Judge arrived and all were
sworn, that they would ratify the act.
This the judges and clerk did.
In McCary on elections, section l26,
it is said chat mere irregnlarity on
the part of election officers or their
omission to observe some merely di-
rectory provisions of the law will not
vitiate the poll" As to what is a
mere irregularity that will not viii
ate the poll, the author says, "The
language of the statute to be con-
strued must be consulted and fol-
lowed. If the statute expressly de-
clares any particular act to be essen
tial to the validity of the election, or
that its omission shall render the
election void, all courts whose duty
IL is TO enforce such statute, must so
hold, whether the particular act in
question goes to the merits, or effects
the result of the election, or not, such
a statute is imperative, and all consid-
erations touching its policy or impol-
icy, must be addressed to the Legisla-
ture.
But, If as in most cases the statute
simply provides that certain acts or
things shall be done, within partic-
ular time, or in particular manner,
and docs not declare that their per-
Torrance is essential TO the validity of
the election, then they will be regard
ed as mandatory, if they do, and di-
rectory If they do not affect the actual
merits of the election"
In this case Cox and Cravens were
certainly legal voters in the Belleview
precinct. And they voted in that
precinct for the candidate of their
choice. Their votes were cast at the
regular election place, and within
lawful voting hours. And the officers
of the election after having been
sworn ratified and certified these
votes. The merits of the election
were not affected. We must hold
therefore, that the lower court did
right in counting these votes.
The opinion of the lower court
clearly defines what it takes TO con-
stitute citizenship in this state, and
also what is required in the precinct
to entitle person to vote therein.
Also what absence and its kind, will
debar ones right to vote. We also
think that the lower court, in over
ruling or sustaining the objections TO
the vote of each contested voter,
save possibly in case of one set OF
voters, not prejudicial however to
the appellant, was sustained by COM
petent and positive evidence. And
we cannot say that in any case his de-
cision was clearly against the weight
of evidence.
This view of the case renders it un-
necessary to determine whether the
appellants majority according to the
face of the returns was thirty two in
stead of only thirty, as the result will
be the same.
The judgment of the lower court
is affirmed.

Gold near Owl Creek Mountains.


Last summer a miner was seen pros.
pecting in the hills in the southwest
ern portion Of Johnson county. and
later he was known to have located
claims in the Owl creek regions and
performed the necessary assessment
work. This spring he reappeared on
the scene with about fifty additional
miners, and a camp is now 10 full
blast. Those who know what Is going
on say that gold has been struck
in paying quantities. The develop.
ment has not yet been sufficient to rs.
tsblish beyond a doubt the fact that q
rich end LISTING mining district has
opened, but IL will be n matter of no
great surprise to q majority Of the old.
or settlers. to hear OF q bonanza strike
being made, Is IL is known that gold
has been taken from the Big Horn
mountains In great quantities in prev
ious years. The first report Of these
proceedings was COMPOUNDED with the
finding of seventeen graves near the
Bridger trail, and the conclusion
jumped TO that the Lost Cabin" re.
gion bad been found. But these
graves are filled by the bones Of SOL
diers killed twenty-three years ago In
a fight with Indians. However, this
camp may develop diggings as rich as
the traditional Lost Cabin" The
